M!R!M THE VISIONARY

Maintaining momentum from a spurt of magical live shows, including a support slot at TMR fave Black Marble's sold out London date, Italian songwriter/producer M!R!M (aka Jack Milwaukee) has unveiled the beautifully understated title track from his recently released new album The Visionary. Veering away some of the chilly post-punk tropes we've come to expect from M!R!M, 'The Visionary' plays out like cold wave's answer to lift music. Loungey synth chords ripple over a gently fizzing drum machine cycle and watery percussive elements drip moodily in the background. Pitching the vocals way down, there's a sensual thickness to Milwaukee's artificially generated voice that adds to the otherworldliness to the piece, which gets dreamier as it goes on. The Visionary is out now via on Avant! Records. -Holly Mullineaux
